Kauai police arrested a 57-year-old Kapaa man after he allegedly shot his 52-year-old roommate Sunday.
The shooting occurred at about 12:20 a.m. at a home on Kamalu Road in Wailua Homesteads, police said.
Police responded to reports of multiple shots fired, but what occurred before the shooting was unclear, Kauai officials said Monday.
At the home, officers found a man lying on the floor in his bedroom with gunshot wounds to his face and chest, according to police spokeswoman Sarah Blane. He was transported to Wilcox Hospital and medevaced to the Queen’s Medical Center in serious but stable condition. The suspect was not at the home when police
arrived.
Police said the victim lives in the home with the 57-year-old suspect and several other roommates.
Detectives searched for the suspect, who turned himself in to police Sunday afternoon. He was arrested on suspicion of second-degree attempted murder and two counts of reckless endangering.
He is being held in lieu of $1 million bail and is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday.
